Going back one year, it is quite obvious that I did not know a whole lot about Wordpress as my first post was my About page, which should have been created as a Wordpress PAGE, rather than an actual blog post.
Oh well!
I just want to thank everyone who reads my site. Without you, this blog wouldn’t exist.
Cheers to another wealthy year to all of you with your income earning startups!
Last weekend when I was in Las Vegas attending the BlogWorldExpo 2008, I made a blog post stating that I recorded a lot of “video elevator pitches” (30-60 second explanations of a company, who they cater to, what they do, why people should use them, etc). People call them elevator pitches because you should be able to explain your company to the people around you in the time it takes to ride an elevator to your floor… (Read Wikipedia for the longer, nerdier definition).
Here is a quick video I recorded recently as an entry to John Chow’s Blog World Expo Giveaway. As I said earlier, I am going to BlogWorldExpo 2008 in Vegas on September 20-21, and I would be stupid to pass up a 5 minute chance at saving myself a $300+ ticket. Hey, it beats the odds I will have in Vegas!
For those of you who own the Super Nintendo Console, you are not going crazy, that IS infact the Donkey Kong Bramble Scramble theme! Mhwahhahaha.
Here are some great posts that I have recently read that are excellent website marketing strategies aimed at helping you make more money online. I like to showcase posts that are worth the time it takes to read them every week, so if you have an article, technique, or post that you would like showcased on the next weekly roundup, feel free to contact me (shameless self promotion allowed, just know that not every request will get approved).
I just wanted to make a quick post announcing that I have reached two of my blog’s biggest milestones. My blog is now one of the top 10,000 blogs in the world according to Technorati. Being that there is well over 112,000,000 blogs on Technorati right now, having my blog be in the top 10,000 puts me in the VERY top percentile of blogs.
When I finally got around to getting this awesome theme released back in January, I redid all of my advertising prices as well as the way I did things. Since then, every advertisement link mentioned had the “nofollow” tag added to it, stopping Google from passing authority to the advertisers. I forgot one small detail though, back in my first month I had sold a few text links for $100 and forgot to add the nofollow tags to those, and some kind fellow decided to report my blog.
I have just finished upgrading to Wordpress 2.5, and it has a LOT of changes. I normally wait for an extra update before I take the time to get the newest version, but 2.5 is like four updates in one.
It completely changes the look and feel to the administrator panel, and it while it will take about 20 minutes to get use to, it will save a lot of time reading, writing, and moderating posts. Everything is nearly the same as it was before, but now it is a LOT easier to get to the pages you want to, and update what needs to be updated. The new look and feel is very web2.0, and I would dare say even a little cartoon like.
Before I begin, I just want to say a few things. This post is not meant to be counter-hostile in any way, but I just feel the need to express my opinion on the matter and want to get my reader’s thoughts as well. I also wanted to thank Collin for allowing me to write my first rant post. I also wrote this “rant post” on the fly (at 12:58AM), so I apologize if there is any typos.
